9/19/09 – Keown Orchards Bee Meeting
Today we went to the Worcester County Beekeepers Association meeting – it was an ‘open hive’ meeting at Keown Orchards in Sutton. Ken Warchol, the Worcester County Apiarist, led the talk on final winter preparations, discussing medication, feeding and over-wintering the hives.
Keown Orchards has twelve hives on their property, and while the meeting was well attended, and very interesting, for some reason the kids enjoyed the wagon ride to pick apples and the apple crisp better than the bees!
